For once in Nigeria, the youth united against tribe, religion, and ethnicity to demand change.
For years, the Nigerian police unit known as the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS)—designed for tactical undercover operations to take down criminals—has extorted, harassed, and killed young people who happen to use expensive phones and drive flashy cars. The plainclothes police also target those who sport dreadlocks and tattoos.
Nigerian youths leveraged art and culture as an expression to fight social injustice. These young people were protesting in the best way that defined their identity.
While many may have condemned the laxity at which protesters deployed in taking their stand.
It was actually interesting the various talents especially the painters, rappers, dancers, comedians that were discovered through the EndSARS protest.
